Vassia Zorbali

Vassia Zorbali is an interdisciplinary artist, performer and practice based researcher. Her merging artistic and research practice combines choreography and performance with video, photography and set design, exploring materiality, the limits of the body, and the performativity of space. She constantly tells stories of physicality even when the body is absent, focusing on vulnerability, trauma and the ephemeral. She holds a Master's degree with distinction from the Athens School of Fine Arts (MA in Visual Arts) (2022), a graduate with distinction from the Professional School of Dance "Rallou Manou" (2014) and a graduate from the Biology Department of the University of Crete (2009). She is active in the field of Culture as a performer since 2008 (Athens and Epidaurus Festival, Kalamata Festival, Onassis Cultural Centre, Onassis Foundation, Larnaca Biennale, Embros Theatre, Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, Contemporary Theatre) and as a creator since 2014 (National Opera House, Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, Kinitiras, Polis Theatre, META Performing Arts Platform, Athens School of Fine Arts, Hellenic American Union). Exploring embodied experience as an extended practice informed by discourse, other fields of art and science, she is constantly moving in the field of osmosis between theory and practice. Pursuing interdisciplinary synergies, she participates in conferences (organization & presentation), textbook writing and residencies in Greece and abroad. She is a founding member of the artistic group ANOMIA (2017), creating short films, video dance projects and live multimedia productions, a member of Athens Culture Net (Municipality of Athens) and a founding member of the educational movement program Skytali. In 2017 she won the 1st prize for best videodance (60secondsdance FI/NO/DE) and in 2014 the 1st prize for best dancer (International Dance Council CID "New Forces").
